Sprint Burst nerf

[iArctic]

Perhaps, some of you might be attached to it, but let's be honest, it's time for a nerf. I mean, come on, what's with all the sprinting? It's like everyone's training for a marathon. Is this Dead by Daylight or Dead by Cardio? Also, let's not forget the killers... poor killers. They are already struggling to catch up with the survivors and now they have to deal with a perk that lets them sprint at the speed of light? I think, It's not fair and it's not balanced and it's not fun as well.

Also, as per future changes (Dead Hard nerf), Sprint Burst will be on every game, in every surv. Even now it is very, very popular (meta perk). I'm afraid to even ask what will happen in the future...

I could consider the following changes:
- Increased cooldown time (to 60 seconds or even 90 seconds)
- Limited activation window (2-3 times during the game, introduce activation tokens\refreshing tokens)
- Reduced duration (from 3 to 2 seconds)

I hope the developers will get this message and fix this perk.

I don't care about the DH change IF Sprint Burst will be activated by pressing E :3

Activation via E, but only 2 times per game. I think it will be ok

[Is this game vegan?]

What if they revert DH to the original state, but every time you use it, someone from Behaviour throws a rotten egg at your door? I would think twice before equipping dead hard, I like my home clean...

The Dead Hard nerf isn't even here yet and you're already going for Sprint Burst... lol.

No.

If Exhaustion perks bother you then use Fearmonger or add-ons that provide Exhaustion. Making the perks themselves useless, as they've done to Dead Hard, is not the way.

Dead hard will not be useless. It will only be less useful for SWF players, but still useful.

SWF will play around the nerf, surely. It's the solo queue that takes the beating again.

Dead Hard is indeed useless. Requires a safe unhook and you can only use it once. Slippery Meat would probably give you more value than new Dead Hard.

No. They've nerfed all the good perks into the ground for survivors, Self Care, Decisive Strike, mixed with the increase on gen times have given killers a distinct advantage they didn't have before already. Leave us one good perk for gods sake.

If you couldn't tell, the OP is either sarcasm or bait. "I mean, what's with all the sprinting everywhere?" isn't something someone who is being serious would say.

This way you have an advantage, much more unpredictable and effective. Dead Hard was unbalanced, you could protect teammates, the killer cannot expect to be chased by a Survivor who will act as a shield. Simply this Nerf is indispensable.

Sprint Burst is fine the way it is, it doesn't need anything. It's a perk that delays the inevitable against a good killer, its goal is to buy you time when you're having a hard time escaping a generator targeted by the killer. The problem with Sprint Burst is that exhaustion recovery can be held down to the last second to be used at the right time. But it can't throw the game off balance like Dead Hard was doing.
